DESCRIPTION:(from Investigation Discovery's press release, August 2014) Investigation Discovery's (ID) hit series SURVIVING EVIL returns this September, featuring all-new stories of extraordinary women who found their lives suddenly in the hands of a cold-blooded criminal, but fought back against their attackers and, against all odds, survived. Recounted in each survivor's own words, SURVIVING EVIL offers an empowering and inspiring look at true-crime stories in which the victim turns the table on their assailant in order to stay alive. Returning as host is actress Charisma Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel. Also a survivor of a near-fatal incident, Carpenter adds an important layer of depth and perspective to the series as only a survivor truly could. Produced by Cineflix for ID, the 10-episode second season of SURVIVING EVIL premieres Wednesday, September 3 at 9/8c.
